Any success with a usb extension cable for this device? I have tried several lengths and none work so far. Will an "active" cable work?

The 15 ft that comes with the Slate is the max length we know of, because of the low power from the computer's USB port used to drive the amp.

Hello From Mediabridge! This is a standard USB extension cable, and will work to add length to any USB run. As long as you are going from USB to USB, this cable will work great! Please contact our friendly support team if you have further questions. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support 856-216-8222 support@mediabridgeproducts.com

It may work through a powered USB 3 hub. I tried to use it with a USB extension cable when I first got it and it did not work, so now I have it directly connected to my laptop and it works perfectly.

I was having some "issues" with mine, nothing serious. Just occasionally disconnecting and then reconnecting. Checked which USB I had mine in, and it was in my USB1. Changed it to a 2.0; and haven't had a problem since then. So, in my experience, it worked with USB1; but was a little "funky" from time to time.

In order to use the USB connector , I have had to purchase a usb to mini usb cable. It hasn't arrived yet, so right now, that is the plan. Assuming I have the sex of the connectors correct I should be OK

Unfortunately, no. Since this device supported USB, I thought it would do exactly what you want but it doesn't. :-(

Your question is not clear! From what I understand, the other functions of this unit WORK; but the USB alone is not OK, correct??/ If that is the case, you will have to try attaching another device in the USB slot and see if it works and much the same way, try the device on some other port on another connection in the computer and see if it works!! I do not think there is a categorical answer to your question!!!

My opinion is, the one I bought did not work at all. It did nothing. It says its compatible with anything that has a standard USB but I couldn't get it to function at all. Had several genius folks look at it and still got nothing.

I am going to try mini iPad USB adapter at Apple store next. Nothing else that I got from Amazon worked. Plan on doing that next week. It looks iffy but it is the only thing left to try, and I have seen little to no info on this. I'll try it in the Apple store first and then let you know if if works ASAP.

Hi there, I found out that all these cables are useless! Only the converter device worked for me! Of course I have not checked them with every equipments, but I wasted money on five or six different cables, and none of them actually worked for any degree of satisfaction! And I was too lasy to return them, mainly because I lost the track of them when I bought them and what was the name of the cable!

Any micro-USB cable should be suitable. Make sure you buy the right shape, the older mini-USB cable will NOT work.

USB is over a foot long, I haven't used it with a USB extender, but I wouldn't see a reason why it wouldn't work, I use USB extenders on much more power demanding items with no problems. Hope this helps.

Have you tried using it on another computer? Or perhaps a different USB port? Is your computer fully updated? Do any other USB devices work when plugged into the same port? If all else fails, it may have a defect and you will need to exchange or return it.

Hello UW75, If the device has a USB cable, this cable should be able to extend the length. Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support

just saw this, sorry. it might work. buy it and try it. if it fails to satisfy, return it. but they do make usb Bluetooth adapters. try looking for those.

That's the problem. I never found a cable that would connect this to an active computer to stream anything. I had to first transfer my files to the device by internal or external memory and play it natively from the device. real disappointment.

Sometimes the problem is the cable you use. If the USB cable is too thin the device will not charge. Try with a good cable. If the device does not charge, the device must be defective.
